As usual with these lists, they would much benefit from more in-depth explanation. This list at least deigns to link to examples for many of the claims (like a flight that leaves on time but arrives 40 hours late [1]), but doesn't explain what happened.

Having said that, many of the links are very informative. For example the crater on Mars that has an ICAO airport code [2]: "On 19 April 2021, Ingenuity performed the first powered flight on Mars from Jezero, which received the commemorative ICAO airport code JZRO."

This is often for boring reasons - the two week flight was a Google Balloon, the flight was delayed for 40 hours due to bad weather, ADS-B is set by the pilot and many pilots simply set it wrong, and so on.
